Reserve News
You’ll be pleased to hear that we are back with a full compliment of hides as the team have now completed works on Ousefleet hide. Reception is open at weekends serving hot drinks and refreshments with the chance to warm your cockles by the log burner on those cold frosty mornings.
Reedling hide has proven very popular this week with barn owl roosting in the trees to the left (through the upper deck left hand window).
Please be aware that we do not allow dogs on site. Please do not walk or take dogs on top of the flood bank and adhere to signs around the reserve. As we sit in a Special Protected Area there can be substantial sanctions.
